Scott McCloud a changé radicalement l''image de la BD avec L''Art invisible, une BD sur la BD qui décortiquait les mécanismes du 9e Art. Avec Réinventer la bande dessinée, il franchit une nouvelle étape en décrivant les douze révolutions en cours dans la création, la lecture et la perception de la BD. De l''issue de ces révolutions dépend la place qu''occupe la BD dans la culture aujourd''hui.

David Smith è uno scultore. Ha appena compiuto ventisei anni, e forse il suo quarto d''ora di gloria è già passato. Solo al mondo, senza un soldo, senza un mecenate che creda in lui, David incontra un vecchio zio che gli propone un patto che non ammette esitazioni: duecento giorni in cui potrà scolpire la materia a mani nude come se fosse acqua, ma poi morirà. Chi è realmente Zio Harry? Come può David accettare serenamente la sua proposta? Quando la tecnica non è più un problema, l''ispirazione viene spontanea? Cos''è l''arte, cos''è l''amore, come si impara consapevolmente a morire? Il primo romanzo grafico di Scott McCloud è anche il suo capolavoro. "Lo scultore è il miglior romanzo grafico che abbia letto da molti anni a questa parte. Parla di arte, di amore e di perché non smettiamo di provarci. Vi spezzerà il cuore." --Neil Gaiman

Una fábula urbana, adulta y subyugante que versa sobre un deseo, un trato con la Muerte, el precio del arte y el valor de la vida. David Smith está dispuesto a morir por su obra... literalmente. Gracias a un trato con la Muerte, este joven escultor consigue cumplir su gran deseo de la infancia: ser capaz de esculpir, únicamente con las manos, cualquier cosa que imagine. Pero ahora, con solo 200 días de vida por delante, decidir qué crear le está resultando más difícil de lo que pensaba. Y encontrar a su alma gemela en el último momento no va a hacerlo más sencillo. Esta es la historia de un deseo llevado más allá de los límites de la razón. Es un relato sobre los torpes y frenéticos pasos del amor incipiente. También es un retrato exuberante y urbano de la ciudad más grandiosa del mundo. Pero, por encima de todo, es un canto a esos pequeños, cálidos y humanos momentos que nos ofrece la vida cotidiana...y a las enormes fuerzas que se agitan, furiosas, bajo su superficie.

David Smith ist Bildhauer. Talentiert, aber nicht berühmt. Deshalb nimmt er auch allzu gerne das faustische Angebot an, jede Skulptur, die er sich vorstellen kann, mit seinen Händen erschaffen zu können, ganz gleich aus welchen Materialien. Auch wenn der Preis für diese Kunst sein Leben ist. Doch David hat dabei zwei Dinge nicht bedacht: Die Schwierigkeit ein Kunstwerk für die Ewigkeit zu erschaffen und ... die Liebe. Er hat nur 200 Tage, um beidem gerecht zu werden. Es gibt nur wenige moderne Comicschöpfer, die so großen Einfluss auf die künstlerische Konstruktion von Comics hatten wie der Amerikaner Scott McCloud. Nach seinen berühmten Standardwerken über Comics ("Comics richtig lesen", "Comics neu erfinden" und "Comics machen") hat er nun endlich seine erste große Graphic Novel geschrieben. Auf fast 500 Seiten nimmt er den Leser mit auf eine einzigartige Reise durch die Kunstwelt und die Seele eines Künstlers. Mit jedem Panel beweist McCloud seine große Fähigkeit, mit Bildern erzählen zu können.

David Smith is giving his life for his art—literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding what to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn''t making it any easier! This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous, street-level portrait of the world''s greatest city. It''s about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life...and the great surging forces that lie just under the surface. Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work; now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable new work.

The #1 New York Times –bestselling and Eisner Award-winning creator of Understanding Comics gathers the year''s best graphic stories in one essential volume. "It''s the perfect book to pick up to restore your faith in comics or help show infinite diversity in infinite combinations on display on paper using the world''s greatest artform." — Comics Bulletin Compiled by guest editor Scott McCloud—"just about the smartest guy in comics" (Frank Miller), The Best American Comics 2014 showcases the work of both established and up-and-coming contributors and highlights both fiction and nonfiction—from graphic novels, pamphlet comics, newspapers, magazines, minicomics, and the Web—to make a unique, stunning collection. Featuring Charles Burns * R. Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb * Gilbert Hernandez * Jaime Hernandez * John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell * Raina Telgemeier * Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples * Chris Ware * and others

Livewire surges ahead with a new cause, and only the Man of Steel has a chance of stopping her.

After a blinding flash of white light, Metropolis is in ruins and moving backwards in time, and it is up to Superman to prevent the chain of events that caused the catastrophe.

As the light from the explosion that destroyed Krypton finally reaches Earth, the robot Brainiac sets out to destroy Superman and so erase all knowledge of Krypton--and the memory of his role in its destruction.

From comics pioneer Scott McCloud, the complete black and white collection of Zot!, featuring never-before-seen artwork and extensive commentary by the author Long before manga took the American comics market by storm, Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics, Making Comics) combined the best ideas from manga, alternative comics, and superheroes into Zot!—a frenetic and innovative exploration of comics'' potential that helped set the stage for McCloud''s later groundbreaking theoretical work. Zachary T. Paleozogt lives in "the far-flung future of 1965," a utopian Earth of world peace, robot butlers, and flying cars. Jenny Weaver lives in an imperfect world of disappointment and broken promises—the Earth we live in. Stepping across the portals to each other''s worlds, Zot and Jenny''s lives will never be the same again. Now, for the first time since its original publication more than twenty years ago, every one of McCloud''s pages from the black and white series has been collected in this must-have commemorative edition for aficionados to treasure and new fans to discover.

Nach dem sich Scott McCloud in seinen ersten beiden Büchern »Comics richtig lesen« und »Comics neu erfinden« der Theorie und der Zukunft des Mediums Comic gewidmet hat, wendet er sich nun den praktischen Dingen zu. »Comics machen« schildert in gewohnt profunder und amüsanter Weise den Prozess des Comic-Schaffens. Hier lernt man alles über... - die Wahl des richtigen Bildausschnitts, um eine klare und stringente Geschichte zu erzählen. - die Aufteilung einer Seite, um den besten Lesefluss zu ermöglichen. - die gelungene Komposition von Texten und Bildern. - die Schaffung neuer und interessanter Figuren. - den Gebrauch von Körpersprache, Gestik und Mimik, um den Figuren Leben einzuhauchen. - die Schaffung vielfältiger und glaubhafter Welten, in denen die Leser sich verlieren können. - die richtigen Zeichenwerkzeuge. - die verschiedenen Comicstile und Genres. Dieses Buch ist ein umfassender Wegweiser für alle, die selbst Comics machen wollen. Ganz gleich ob sie für Comics, Manga oder Graphic Novels schwärmen, ob sie zeichnen, Geschichten schreiben oder beides verbinden wollen.

»Geschickt als ein leicht lesbarer Comic verkleidet, dekonstruiert Scott McClouds einfach gehaltener Band die geheime Sprache der Comics, während nebenbei Geheimnisse von Zeit, Raum, Kunst und Kosmos enthüllt werden. Der intelligenteste Comic, den ich seit langem gesehen habe. Bravo!« Art Spiegelman
